Yes, overall hurricanes are worse than tornadoes. Tornadoes can be faster(the average tornado may have winds of about 70 mph, but they can get as high as 300 mph, and hurricanes can be 74 to about 200 mph) and maybe more destructive locally, but tornadoes are on average about 150 feet, and rarely over a mile and they usually travel no more than a few miles. Hurricanes are on average 300 miles wide. Tornadoes usually last for 10-13 minutes on average, hurricanes can last for days blowing nonstop. Additionally, hurricanes don't bring just strong winds, but torrential rain and flooding.

There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.
